The most expensive ski resort, real estate wise, is Megève, followed by Val d’Isère and Courchevel. Amongst the more affordable bigger resorts you will find L’Alpe d’Huez, La Plagne, Les Deux Alpes and Les Arcs.

They attract the greatest skiers and snowboarders of the world and accommodations have a good booking rate.

Smaller resorts with a village feel are always a nice compromise, allowing you or your renters to enjoy a skiing holiday with a mountain village atmosphere. Amongst those you will find Champagny en Vanoise, Le Grand Bornand, Les Houches and many more, each of them with a different feel.
